  • the spreading material is from the Measuring wheel brushes 160 and the wear inserts 155 thereof prevented from flowing up through the housing 135.
  • the centrifugal fan 390 is removed from the Hydraulic system of the agricultural tractor powered, the compressed air presses through the pneumatic distribution system 35. Air moves from the centrifugal fan 390 to the air chamber 400 where them from the flap 415 into the many outlet ports 420 is divided. The distribution lines 320 bring the air to the primary distributor 40.
  • Venturi ports 445 are used to the top row of connections in the primary manifold 40 to form with the Venturi printing plates 450 on the sides the top row.
  • the spreading material is on the Discharge product inlet 515 metered into the primary distributor 40 issued.
  • Part of the compressed air of the distribution system 35 is by means of one shown in Figure 15 and in the outer Distribution nozzles 465 provided mouth 675 for pressure in the tank 20 immediately before the venturi element 525 of the upper one Row of connections in the venturi pressure plates 450 at the end brought the top row, which is the Manifolds 465 are those that are close to the Venturi pressure plates 450 are located.
  • the air enters the Mouth 550 into the Venturi pressure plates 450 and becomes the Mouth 555 out where it enters the measuring housing 60.
  • the Air is then passed through the air passage 605 of the measurement housing 60 into the hollow legs 610 of the conductor 615, which are located above the measuring housing 60. Finally the Air to the highest point of ladder 615, where it enters the tank 20 is delivered.
  • the discharge material from the tank 20 above the Primary distributor 40 into a lower row of connections the secondary connections 455 are to be delivered used, the top row of connections in the primary manifold Form 40, with transfer printing plates 460 on the sides of the top row.
  • Spreading material is to the Secondary inlets 490 of the secondary connections 455 in the Primary manifold 40 dispensed where it is under the spreading passages 485 is divided and through the side outlets 495 into the discharge material inlets 515 of the venturi connections 445 the bottom row falls.
  • Part of the air in the distribution system 35 is from the mouth 675 in the outermost Distribution nozzles 465 added in the lower row. The air becomes the Venturi pressure plate 450 at the end of the lower one Brought row.
  • the secondary distributors 325 distribute that Spreading material substantially uniformly in a variety of Distribution lines 323 leading to the coulters 410 on the Lead openers 50 where the spreading material for sowing brought.
  • the operator can take the discharge separator 65 into his Bring closed position so that no material to be spread is measured.
  • the operator can then use the primary manifold 40 exchange, so that spreading material from one special tank 20 on another row of Venturi ports 445 or secondary connections 455 of the primary distributor 40 enters and from the distribution lines 323 for storage is performed elsewhere.
  • spreading material with a larger grain is metered an operator must remove the measuring insert 70 and by a separate measuring insert 70 with measuring wheels 145 replace, which have larger spreading valley 280.
  • the operator intends to increase the spreading width change, or if the presentation of the tillage implement 10 has changed, it can have one or more branches by closing caps 440 on a column of the Exhaust ports 420 attaches, the door insert 165 in the Chamber inlet 175 inserts around chamber section 140 cut off, which is assigned to the branch, and the lid 470 to the spreading material inlet 515 of the venturi connection 445 or via the secondary inlet 490 of the secondary connection 455 depending on which is in the primary distributor 40 is located in the top row of connectors.
  • the Operator one or more of the measuring inserts 70 remove and replace with measuring inserts that are required for the assembly of the tillage implement 10 are prepared, or they can reconfigure the measuring inserts 70 in that they Place dummy links 330 on one or more measuring wheels 145, to reduce the capacity in each branch.
  • the pneumatic seeder is preferably with a platform 680 equipped - sh.
  • Figure 2 - on which the operator can stand when the material to be dispensed is filled into the tanks 20 or the tanks 20 are checked.
  • An observation wheel 196 shown in FIG. 3 can be helpful the number of revolutions of the measuring wheels 145 to be observed in one of the measuring systems 30.
  • the invention is according to the preferred embodiment has been described in the intermediate construction, in which the Spreading wagon 5 between the tillage implement 10 and the tractor is arranged, it can according to FIG also be trained in a trailing design, so that the Ausbringgutwagen 5 behind the soil tillage implement 10 is pulled.
  • the pneumatic seeder in the trailed Construction includes additional trailing wheels 690 on the front End of spreading wagon 5 to support the load in the intermediate design using the drawbar of the spreading wagon 5 is transferred to the tractor.
  • the Function of the pneumatic seeder in the trailed Construction is essentially the same as that in the intermediate construction; however, the components are reversed so that the air and discharge material distribution system from behind the Ausbringgutwagen 5 'forward, so that Spreading material to the coulters 410 on the soil tillage implement 10 arrives in front of the discharge wagon 5.
